[vlc] Re: Audio eats memory when PTS is not stable

[Rick Davis]

As stated in a previous post. I have fixed the BIG leak, now there is just a
small leak. I modified filters.c FiltersHintBuffers and changed

            p_first_alloc->i_alloc_type = AOUT_ALLOC_STACK;
to
            p_first_alloc->i_alloc_type = AOUT_ALLOC_HEAP;

	That fixed the BIG leak.

	Now I get a small leak that seems to vary but is always in 4096bytes
chunks. I am pretty sure it has to do with audio because I am listening to a
Radio channel that has no Video and memory slower decreases.

He's probably on to something.  I had the same memory leak when playing a
networked streamed MPEG-2 PS video on my RH9 Linux box that had no sound
card.  If I turned off audio on the streaming source the memory leak
disappeared.
